Truck U Rolls Through Industry Week

SWANSEA, MA — For the second year in a row, Brenton Productions’ TV show Truck U went to Vegas to shoot a special AAIW episode. Truck U, hosted by Matt Steele and Buzz Thompson, is a how-to television show on SPEED dedicated to truck, jeep and SUV projects. Truck U (also know as Truck Universe) will air its special AAPEX/SEMA episode on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 10:30 a.m. (EST).

Now in its second year on SPEED, Truck U features the latest aftermarket truck and SUV products every week. The SEMA and AAPEX shows allowed Truck U’s hosts to show even more new products and developments right to TV viewers. And with the strong truck and SUV aftermarket, this year’s special has no shortage of new products and new trucks to cover.

This year’s episode will cover all the major sections of the AAPEX and SEMA shows, including: Hot Automotive Finishes & Truck Manufacturers, Cool Trucks, SUV’s & Off-Road Vehicles, Restoration and New Products.

“…It’s great to be back in Vegas," said Matt Steele, Truck U’s co-host. "There’s so much to see this year… so much to show the viewers about the automotive aftermarket, we’re just glad to be a part of it all."

"I’m stoked," added Buzz Thompson, Steele’s co-host on Truck U. "There’s a lot to see, and I brought my walkin’ shoes. We’ve got plenty of great interviews lined up, and we plan to see all the new products we can."

The special is sponsored in part by a few key companies, whose latest products were featured on the show. BD Power, Custom Autosound, Dupli-Color and Line-X each got a visit from the show hosts as they walked the floor.

Truck U can be seen Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. (EST) on SPEED. For more information, visit: http://www.truckuniversetv.com.
